Alice In Chains guitarist and singer Jerry Cantrell will be the subject of a longform interview in the next episode of Gibson TV's Icons series. Cantrell will sit down to discuss his love of songwriting, the formation of Alice In Chains, as well as his 30-plus years in music.
The Cantrell episode of the new Icons series, which features some of the most acclaimed artists, producers and music business pioneers working today, will be released in July.
Cantrell told us that when Alice In Chains first started out in Seattle, the band didn't fit the scene at the time: “We were just like kids out of the South End, f**king rock heads, you know, so we didn't fit in with that. We just kinda were on our own, which was fine by us. We always had the attitude like — not belligerently — but, you know, if you don't dig us, then f**k you, basically. You know, it's like, that's cool.”
Earlier this year, Cantrell returned to the studio to continue working on a new solo album, his first since 2002's Degradation Trip. Alice In Chains released its sixth studio LP, Rainier Fog, in August 2018.
